Werden Sie Teil des PharmaLab-Kongresses 2019 – als Referent

Objectives

In this course we give an overview of the current requirements, available systems and methods and their areas of application. Speakers from industry, laboratories and manufacturers will report on their experiences and the challenges involved in introducing, establishing and validating real-time test systems.

Background

Microbiological control, whether for environmental monitoring, in-process control or release testing, is mandatory in many cases. In order to be able to react quickly to deviations or to achieve the greatest possible safety for products with a short shelf life, be it ATMP or radiopharmaceuticals, methods for real-time measurement would be desirable. Some of these methods are already available on the market, but they present us with a number of challenges during implementation, e.g:.

Comparability with Compendial Methods

Greater sensitivity than previous methods (limit conflict with current requirements)
